Thank you for sharing your resent revelations on the subject of molds. The question of 2 or 4 cavities has crossed my mind often of late. For the next year or more I will be using just a pot and ladle to pour the lead. Moving on up to a bottom pour electric pot will be great...though I will always reserve the tools to use open flame and ladle. So 4 Cav. I will go for then. I do not know what lead mixture will be best, and thus the different weights dropped by different alloy combinations are a mystery to me. Resulting in not knowing what is the optimal bullet weight for this application. I of course understand that the 45acp has used 230 grain hard ball bullets for a 100 plus years. What I do not understand is; with a bullet, with no copper what would indeed be the optimal bullet weight......especially if one does not know which lead, tin, antemony, or whatever alloy will be poured.......again thanks for sharing your experiences todate.
